Helma Sawatzky — Closer Than My Skin lyrics

Lyrics

In webs of fog and misty mornings
In darkest night I looked for you
In distant dreams and foreign countries
I sought to find a way to you
But you’re closer than my skin
You’re the wings of my spirit —
hiding deep within
You’re the air that I breathe
You’re the rhythm of my song
Carry me along
In raging storm and roaring thunder
I sought to find an angry face
When all came down in awestruck wonder
You touched me with a smile of grace
And you’re closer than my skin
You’re the wings of my spirit —
hiding deep within
You’re the air that I breathe
You’re the rhythm of my song
Carry me along
Deep inside you carry me
So close… entwined… a mystery
You light my eyes — you make me see all over…
And all around me you make sense
of things I could not comprehend
You love the part inside of me
I didn’t want to know…
And you’re closer than my skin
You’re the wings of my spirit — hiding deep within
You’re the air that I breathe
You’re the rhythm of my song
Carry me along
